Hassan: Cybersecurity doesn’t seem to have been a “formal factor” in your spending analyses. Blount: “We take cybersecurity very seriously. … We’ve never had our board deny us any funds associated with safety and security. … If my CIO wants funds, she gets them.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Maggie Hassan: Did your spending analyses incorporate your responsibility to the public? Blount: “That's always been our focus our investment.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Johnson opens his time by saying that Colonial was "not the bad guy here" and encouraging people to treat the company as "the victim of a crime" rather than focusing on what they could have done better. — PolitiTweet.org

Blount says Colonial called the FBI's Atlanta office, which referred the company to the FBI’s DarkSide “center of excellence” in California. Several years ago, the FBI reorganized its cyber operations around threats. This is an example of the specialization in various offices. — PolitiTweet.org

Carper: How quickly did you contact the FBI? Blount: “Within hours.” — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Carper: What’s the most important advice you can offer to other companies? Blount: Look at your defenses, have an emergency response plan, and be transparent with the authorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Portman: Did you require MFA on all systems prior to the attack? Blount: Not on the legacy VPN system that was hacked. But that VPN’s password was complicated. “It was not a ‘colonial123’-type password.” Portman: Agree MFA is critical? Blount: Yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Portman: Did DarkSide’s decryption tool work? Blount: “It has worked.” Portman: So WSJ story was wrong? Blount: “That article came out pretty early on...we know subsequently that the encryption decryption tool actually does work to some degree. … It's not a perfect tool.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Portman: Did you talked to OFAC before paying, given the potential sanctions implications? Blount: We hired experts for legal and negotiating assistance, and we checked to make sure that DarkSide was not "an OFAC-sanctioned entity." — PolitiTweet.org
